Since I have a Jag rear in my Contemporary and only use the car for open tracking I know a little about changing pads and bleeding brakes.I use two sets of rear pads a season so using the Jag setup sucked. I changed to the Wilwood Dynalite calipers with slotted rotors. I also installed a cooling fan in the trunk that blows fresh air to both rear calipers. The inboard brakes are noted for getting real hot when in track use.
I have radius rods that run to the front and attach to the frame about midpoint between the front and rear wheels. The alows for zero tow change under hard acceleration and also zero change thru full swing of the suspension.
I have also plumbed my rear calipers both inner and outer with brake lines extending to the rear frame so I can bleed the rear brakes without even having to jack the car.

This kind of stuff is probably not necessary for street driving but to me street driving is boring.
